As Trump Set to Announce New Iran Policy, Tehran Threatens U.S. Army Bases
Reuters via Haaretz ^ | Oct 08, 2017

Revolutionary Guard chief issues stark warning to U.S. troops, saying that U.S. regional military bases would be at risk if Washington imposes further sanctions on Iran

Iran warned the United States against designating its Revolutionary Guard Corp as a terrorist group and said U.S. regional military bases would be at risk if further sanctions were passed. The warning came after the White House said on Friday that President Donald Trump would announce new U.S. responses to Iran's missile tests, support for "terrorism" and cyber operations as part of his new Iran strategy.

"As we've announced in the past, if America's new law for sanctions is passed, this country will have to move their regional bases outside the 2,000 km range of Iran's missiles," Guard's commander Mohammad Ali Jafari said, according to state media.

Jafari also said that additional sanctions would end the chances for future dialogue with the United States, according to state media, and issued a stark warning to American troops.

"If the news is correct about the stupidity of the American government in considering the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist group, then the Revolutionary Guard will consider the American army to be like Islamic State all around the world particularly in the Middle East," Jafari said.

Ah yes.

The classic Muslim response.

“We’re are not terrorists! I keel you!”

"Quit calling me a terrorist or I kill you!"

Did he hire Jeff Dunham as his spokesperson?

Your threatening to kill our troops is always a great reason for Americans to stick with a “ treaty” signer, eh Tehran?

In this Iran deal, Obama literally committed treason according to the constitutional definition.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
U.S. Const. art. III, sec. 3.

Obama should have been removed form office.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
U.S. Const. art. II, sec. 4.

these guys never fail to crack me up.

We’ll have to move our bases out of the 200km range of their missiles?

I guess they’ll have to move their country out of the range of our Trident D5s and Minuteman IIIs.

And I REALLY wish a US General or DJT himself would use that line.

These people order special cranes from Germany on which to hang homosexuals

They sent human waves of children into Iraqi minefields to clear the way for their brave Pasdaran and Rev Guard

They contracted Qadaffi to arrange to down at least one American airliner as blood revenge for one of their airliners playing a fatal game of chicken with a US warship

Name a country in the world that truly respects Iran and I’ll show you a pair of losers

The last major “war” Iran was involved in, was with Iraq.

That turned out to be a Scud missile launch both ways.

They might be spoiling for a fight, just to see if their stuff still works.

Iranian human wave attacks versus Iraqi mustard gas.

Ah, the good old days.

Iran should have been rubblized in 1980. Would have saved thousands of innocent lives later lost to terrorism.
